Off-peak: Primary Season I think like many people, I’m suffering from what can only be called a Primary Lull. For four weeks (and another two on the way), there have been no CNN primary parties, no Dems Watch parties and, surprisingly, no elections. It’s kind of weird, actually, not to have this constant reminder of [...]

Because Barack Cares I think at this point it is more than obvious that I want Barack to be my next President. Now, after today’s speech on race, I think it should be clear to everyone why he should be our next President. I’m going to repeat exactly what everyone else is saying now about [...]

It’s snowing. Hard. Everything is white: trees, sidewalks, buildings, trash cans, bikes, blue lights. Even my black Caribbean roommate is white when she comes in from being outside (when she goes outside). That’s how much it’s snowing. Plus, it smells like Christmas. I’m so confused. Especially since it was 50 degrees and sunny yesterday. So [...]

Hey, guess where I am now? Answer: In my own little personal Obama office. It’s pretty sweet – lonely (Come make phone calls!) – but pretty sweet. I was hired yesterday (randomly and suddenly) to be the head of GOtV for Middlebury (town and school) along with another girl from Dems. Is this a conflict [...]
